Failed 3 times!

[mnk10]

How could this be? I have never been so depressed in my life. I don't want to give up but it's so hard getting back up and getting all my confidence back and finding the strength to study again. I have done Kaplan, I have done ncsbn questions and I've studied day and night. I don't know what I'm doing wrong and I don't want to make the same mistakes again. Should I take a break? or should I start studying all over again? This is definitely affecting me physically and mentally. What should I do? PLEASE HELP.

I have to add to all the comments. I tested on Aug 8th for the 4th time for my LPN and failed. Iused ncsbn and kaplan this time and still failed. The computer shut off at 85 and I was devistated, so I know how you're feeling. Since the test I don't know how to feel. I'm trying to get motivated again but I don't know which way to turn and I am totally lost on what to study. Can somebody please help me!

Don't get depressed!!!! Get angry at yourself and trust me this helps!!!!

Use my experience-I tought there is no way for me to pass it. I am foreign nurse, did it on second try.

The question is, what is time interval between tests you take? Is it month? Bad! 3 months? Little bit better. You have to give yourself time and review again!! Easy, simply, with no stress and pressure.Get angry-adrenaline really helps!

Review Saunders, Kaplan, LaCharity. Try to think the "puzzle way". On that exam you have to put pieces together! It is not only knowledge, it is puzzle!!!

I did it. First time last year I had 190 questions and computer juzt crushed me. I gave myself a year! This time I crushed computer! 1,5 hour of sitting, 75 questions!

You can do it!
